Our usual rule for logical keywords (across several properties now) is that the unadorned logical word refers to the container's WM, and self-* refers to the element's own WM. Our few exceptions (which I can't recall off the top of my head) I think are just places where we figured that we'd *never* want to refer to a container, so using the plain logical keyword for the element's own WM was fine. I suspect we want to lean on that, then - use the containing block's WM, and if we want the element's own directions, use self-*. (Note that, in this case, I could see us *also* wanting the default anchor's WM, potentially, which would use a different set of prefixes, like `anchor-block`. This would mesh well with using `block` and `self-block`.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12869#issuecomment-3398811299 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
